Johann Sebastian Bass playing Barock’n'Roll

Austria is sometimes a crazy place. If people think about Austria and music, names like Mozart and maybe Beethoven comes to their mind. Of course Beethoven was german, but anyway, the point is there is always a link to Baroque and Rococo. And the people are absolutely right! Johann Sebastian Bass releasing the missing link from the past to present on the label of Vienna Wildstyle.

They come from a different century. A time when rococo and wig powder ruled their everyday life. But fate had higher plans for the three brothers. Due to a chain of mysterious events Johann Martinus Bass, Johann Davidus Bass and Johann Domenicus Bass found themselves all of a sudden in the year 2011. Contemporary dance music shook the bottom of their hearts and now they don’t want to go back. But nobody is willing to employ the time travellers, so they are forced to search for other ways to earn their gulden. As a freelance-dance-band-collective they now try to fulfil their vision of sublime contrapunctual theme progression combined with energetic electro-rhythms. Listen to the melodies of the electro-clavichord and bathe in the sound of the bass-kettledrum. Feel free to nestle up in the velvet voice of the talkbox and shake a leg in nocturnal restlessness. Ladies and gentlemen! Mesdames et Monsieurs! Feel invited to the Quadrille-Technoide.

PANTHERION – Reality is debatable

Attention! Attention! This is a special bulletin: Austria has now it’s own mystery series, or more precisely the pilot episode of PANTHERION is finished and released. It’s a low budget project, realized by small group of individualists with a big heart and even a bigger vision. Jörg Vogeltanz, Bernhard Reicher and Lilo Wachter are responsible for the script and execution of the movie. The plot is very unique and I think there is no other series with so many strange ideas and phantastic influences. But every medal has two sides, so there are also some points I didn’t like. The lenght of the pilot is the main problem I think. Over two and a half hours is definitely too long for a format like this. I really pray and hope they will cut and edit it complete new to get a better flow and use a standard size like 90 or max. 100 minutes. And it’s also not necessary to use so many visual effects on the first half of the movie. The last point is the sound mixage of the dialogues. Sometimes it’s really hard to understand a single word (and I understand usually the austrian accent) , but no worry, the whole movie has english subtitles and this helps a lot. I have only this three points to criticize, but I think they will lern from there faults and I can’t wait to see more of the PANTHERION universe!

For this article I have collected a bunch of very cool posters, artworks, props and videos, so you can get a good feeling what I’m talking about. The official soundtrack by COCAITTE is also very nice and is also available on Bandcamp. So check out the plot and if you like such strange stuff, watch the uncut movie now on YouTube or buy it on DVD or BluRay.

THE PLOT

The secret NGO PANTHERION, located deep within the castle mountain of Graz, Austria, a small low-budget-organization for detecting, fighting and researching trans-dimensional threats, tech and/or beings has to face a wave of intruding life-force-vampires from another reality after saving the young student Viola from being killed. Plus, the sinister Thule-society invocates lovecraftian monsters from beyond the stars and everything turns and shifts into a strange direction. They are useing for exploring parallel realities and other dimensions the so-called Reality-Radio, a steampunky device, left behind by a soldier of the infamous USS Eldridge (the ship better known as center of the “Philadelphia Experiment”) in 1943 during a strange series of ghostly appearances of paranormal entities in Graz.

Using this transdimensional technology the investigation team of PANTHERION (currently consisting of five members: a paranormal black-ops-deserter, an impotent magician, a crazy female weapon expert, a nerdy tech geek with abductee experience and a young newbie with a very special tattoo on her back) is confronted with various more or less dangerous beings from “beyond” like life-force sucking vampires, lovecraftian monsters evocated by occult nazi cultists, extremely evil clowns, bodyless disease-entities and many more who all together want to enter “our” reality in search of the one and only “paradise dimension”. so pantherion has a great deal to fight against intruders, to reverse-engineer strange tech and to find allies.
